In this article authors present results of initial
laboratory tests and further numerical analyses using
finite element method (FEM) and back - calculation
method. Laboratory tests are based on trial loadings of
granular material in different moisture conditions. Numerical
analyses were obtained in FEM software using
Coulomb - Mohr model of tested material. Presented
results are the part of wider research program in which
the main aim is to evaluate the influence of variable
moisture content of granular materials used in road
pavement structures on their fatigue life and in Life
Cycle Assessment (LCA)
